How can I unroot my LG-F240K?
As it got an OTA update.
And I am not be able to install it.

Sent from my LG-F240K using XDA Free mobile app

In SU settings ..close to bottom there is the full unroot button.

Has anyone installed the new update ~ 55MB ?
My F240L just won't install it saying that it might be some compatibility issue .... I mean really?

The update begins and at 3% i get an error Err0x13 or something like that.

Is anyone experiencing the same problem? I unrooted it before trying this..

Super su is not unrooting properly

I think you are right.
The last time I tried after the error, it said that device isn't unrooted..

Anybody, any ideas? I'm hoping this update will bring better internet for my f240L, especially better signal for wifi.

This may sound silly.

I just updated to kitkat 4.4.2, and I can't seem to find Enable USB Debug in Settings Menu.

Can you help me, guys ?

Settings > General > About phone > Software information > tap Build number 7 times then go back to General and Developer options will be displayed.

Thank you very much. Alas, Finally I could get rooted my G Pro.

I was just about to look for more forums discussing rooting with KIT KAT and I saw that you had success with your E980. Thanks for saving me the time.

I've found the kitkat rooting tool for Optimus G Pro which was released yesterday. It's confirmed to be working for F240x series phones with KitKat.

StartRoot.bat will take you to a cwm recovery mode in where you can select the sideload option to install the root files. Once done, just install supersu from Play.
Just tried it on a F240K and works fine.

LG F240L

Friends would like your help. I live in Brazil and currently have the LG F240L purchased on aliexpress, Band-based M9615A CEFWMAZM-2.0.1628 android 4.4.2, kernel 3.4.0, software F240L20f. The software is full of koreanos programs and sms only has 80 characters. How can I solve it step by step and continue using android 4.4.2?: Good:

I used the script/flash files provided by galapagos on post #4.
It worked perfectly well. I was able to reboot, install superSU without loosing any data.
However, the device rebooted after some time. And now is stuck in LG logo.

I can go to "service mode" and repeat the flashing process through ADB:

Code:

adb reboot recovery
adb sideload root.zip

it flashes and askes for reboot. Then it is stuck again in LG logo...
Phone Model LGF240L from LG South Korea with stock ROM.

What can I do to recover the phone without loosing data?
Thank you

I fixed the phone using LG Flash Tool 2014 + Korea LG U+ KitKat F240L20d_00.kdz (found here http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=PUTyourEMEIhere).
Adding these lines to my /hosts file
127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
127.0.0.1 csmgdl.lgmobile.com

However, it looks like I lost all data even doing a "normal Flash" instead of a "CSE Flash".

Hope this helps someone some day.
